Description

The production method of butyleneglycol
Background of invention
The invention provides, under different stringent conditions, prepare the method for butyleneglycol by hydroformylation from vinyl carbinol.Preferably in entire method, use identical CO/H 2Reaction mixture gas.
Invention field
The production method for preparing butyleneglycol from vinyl carbinol is known and is business method.Referring to for example United States Patent (USP) 4238419,4678857,4215077,5290743 etc.In general, use rhodium-phosphine catalyst system to make vinyl carbinol and CO/H 2The gas mixture reaction forms the 4-acetaldol, and water extracting and separating from catalyzer goes out the 4-acetaldol and hydrogenation formation butyleneglycol on nickel catalyzator.Referring to United States Patent (USP) 5504261.
Above reaction process relates to different catalyzer and the common different reaction mixture gas of use in each reaction.Obviously, only to use the single catalyst system and preferably only use a kind of reaction mixture gas be useful to the method for preparing butyleneglycol from vinyl carbinol.
Tool report, for example Kawahito etc. uses rhodium and trialkyl phosphine catalyst system can produce butyleneglycol from vinyl carbinol by the single step reaction system in the open No.S52-78809 of Japanese Patent.But the shortcoming of S52-78809 method is 1 of production, and the 4-butyleneglycol is with respect to the 2-methyl isophthalic acid, and the ratio of ammediol is relatively low.
Summary of the invention
The invention provides a kind of use single catalyst system and preferably use single reaction mixture gas to make vinyl carbinol and CO/H 2The method of butyleneglycol is produced in reaction.Beginning is reflected under the gentle relatively condition of temperature and/or pressure and carries out, and this helps to form the straight chain reaction product, the catalyst system rhodium-containing compound of use and aliphatic phosphine.Then, reaction continues to react under same catalyst system and preferred same reaction mixture gas, mainly under stricter reaction conditions forms 1, the 4-butyleneglycol.By practice of the present invention, use two kinds of different catalyzer in the prior art and in reaction process the shortcoming of isolation of intermediate products avoided, and 1, the 4-butyleneglycol is with respect to the 2-methyl isophthalic acid, the ratio of ammediol significantly improves.
Another characteristics, the new catalyst system of the alkylphosphines of use rhodium-containing and following formula makes vinyl carbinol and CO/H 2New reaction takes place.
Wherein R, R 1And R 2In at least two be methyl.R, R 1Or R 2Not that methyl can be C 2-C 20Alkyl or C 3-C 20Cycloalkyl.Be surprisingly found out that, use these phosphines can improve the ratio of linear product and branched product significantly.
Detailed Description Of The Invention
By the present invention, in the presence of rhodium-trialkyl phosphine catalyst system, at first vinyl carbinol and CO/H under gentle relatively condition 2Reaction, this condition helps to form the straight chain reaction product especially.It is 30-100psig with reaction pressure that temperature of reaction is 60-80 ℃; CO/H 2The ratio of mixture is 1/1 mole, but also appropriate change, and can use CO/H 2Dividing potential drop be 5-30psi.Be reflected at and proceed to vinyl carbinol overwhelming majority reaction under these mild conditionss, 60-90% for example, product is mainly the 4-acetaldol, some butyleneglycols and branched chain reaction product.Reaction times under these mild conditionss is generally 1-4 hour.
To be reflected at then under the stricter temperature and pressure condition, for example temperature is that 80-140 ℃ and/or total pressure are that 100-1000psig proceeds in identical catalyzer.Can use identical CO/H 2Gaseous mixture.React under stricter condition, the product of generation is a butyleneglycol, and a high proportion of straight chain and branched product are constant substantially.Usually the suitable reaction times under stringent condition more is 1-10 hour.
In embodiments of the invention, vinyl carbinol and catalyzer preferably place reactor with the solvent that is fit to, and lead to CO/H in reactor 2Reaction gas mixture.In the required reaction times, reactor is heated to temperature of reaction and with CO/H 2The mixture pressurization forms 4-hydroxyl butanols with highly selective.Preferably under agitation carry out.
After this, the temperature of reaction mixture and CO/H 2Pressure increases to stricter condition to form butyleneglycol and these conditions are retained to the required butyleneglycol transformation efficiency of acquisition.
Product mixtures can be separated by diol product being extracted in the water or by vacuum distilling glycol from reaction mixture.
Key character of the present invention is by at first reacting under gentle relatively condition, then more to react under the stringent condition, entire reaction optionally obtains 1, the 4-butyleneglycol, and it is as the advantage product, further significantly reduced branched diol 2-methyl isophthalic acid, the generation of ammediol.In fact, be 3/1 and more a high proportion of straight diol/branched diol by practice of the present invention acquisition ratio easily.
Use and be catalyst system (wherein two alkyl are that methyl and the 3rd are C derived from rhodium or rhodium compound and trialkyl phosphine compound 2-C 12Alkyl).Wherein said rhodium compound is the rhodium carbonyl compound preferably.
Use carbon monoxide and hydrogen mixture, the mol ratio that hydrogen/carbon monoxide is general is 1: 3-10: 1, preferred 1: 2-2: 1 and most preferably 1: 1.Have no adverse effect though change the composition of gas, it is particularly advantageous using identical gaseous mixture in entire reaction course.
Method of the present invention form, continuous or semi-continuous mode is in batches carried out; Preferred continuous mode.
Vinyl carbinol of the present invention and CO/H 2Reaction between reaction gas mixture is basic under gentle relatively condition at first, and this helps to form the hydroxy aldehyde of straight chain.Temperature of reaction is 20-80 ℃, preferred 60-80 ℃, and the total pressure 30-100psig (CO/H of 5-30psig 2Dividing potential drop, 1/1 mol ratio) and first step of reaction be 1-4 hour.
After this, temperature of reaction increases to 80-140 ℃ and pressure to 100-1000psig, is reflected under these stricter conditions and continues 2-4 hour.Use same catalyzer and the same CO/H of preferred use two stages 2Reaction gas mixture.
Reaction mixture has 1 of at least 3/1 ratio, the 4-butyleneglycol: 2-methyl alcohol-1, and ammediol, and these products can separate from catalyzer easily by the method for extraction or vacuum distilling.
Use dimethyl phosphine by the inventive method, use different stringent conditions as stated above and use single reaction conditions all can obtain improved straight chain and branched product ratio.The phosphine that the inventive method is used is trimethyl-phosphine and R, R 1And R 2In two be that methyl and another are C 2-C 12The phosphine compound of alkyl (as dimethyl, the octyl group phosphine).
